ContainerStack

A library for easy to use animations using layouts.

This "Framework" is just working with Firemonkey.

How to use this library

First of all add the unit "ContainerStackLib" to your project

Initialize the class

call this in your mainform unit

TContainerStack.Current.Initialize(Self); 

Add clientforms to the class

call this in your clientform units

your clientforms must have a TLayout-Component on it otherwise the whole animation thing wont work

TContainerStack.Current.RegisterForm(Self);

Set the first form visible

You can set the first form visible in the constructor of it

TContainerStack.Current.ShowFormNoAnimation(Self);

or you call this method in the mainform-unit

TContainerStack.Current.ShowFormNoAnimation(TestDlg1);

Show a form with animations

To show a form with an animation you have to call

TContainerStack.Current.ShowForm(TestDlg2, TAnimationStyle.OverlayFromBottom, 0.8);

The Parameters:

1. The new dialog wich should be shown
2. The style wich should be used for animation (see below for all animation styles)
3. The animation durration (default 0.2 seconds)

There are some animation styles

• FromRight
• FromLeft
• FromTop
• FromBottom
• OverlayFromBottom
• OverlayFromTop

Back to previous form

If you just want to go back to your previous form with the corresponding animation and duration call

TContainerStack.Current.Back;

The backkey on Android-Devices is handled too.
